I’ve got another thread on here with the particulars of a WASR 10/63 I picked up recently. It’s a decent enough AK that has responded well to accuracy improvements, but it had the ugliest unfinished stock I’ve seen in a long time. I wanted to get something on the wood and I ultimately decided to just do a complete refinish.

The stock was sanded to 220 and given three coats of Minnwax Sedona Red stain. Once the stain was set, I added four coats the same company’s aerosol Spar Urethane. Pad is by UTG and it adds about an inch, plus much-needed depth to the toe of the stock. These pads slip off just as easily as they slip on, but an application of Outdoor Mounting Tape between the butt plate and pad cured that.
